T a/ZZ whom 1312 may concern.-

v Republic, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Weaving-Looms, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a-weaving-loom for producing fabrics with the texture inclined at'any anglenthat is to say, the warp and weft of which do not make a relative right angle.

The improvements consist chiey in inelining the batten with regard to the warp and causing it to 'move in such a manner that theteeth of he reed are always moved in a direction parallel to that of the warp. The mechanical means for producing this result may be considerably varied; but two suitable forms are showndiagrammatically in the accompanying drawings, wherein#- Figure 1 is a side elevation, and Fig. 2 a plan, ofone form of construction. Fig. 3 is a plan view of a second form. Fig. 4 is a sectional side view of part of the mechanism shown in Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 is a detail view relating to the warp and cloth beams.

In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the reciprocating movements of the batten A are imparted 'thereto by the connecting-rods B B', operated from the driving-shaft C; but since said connecting-rods must be of equal length for producing regular movements of the batten one of said rods B is driven indirectly from the shaft C, the rotation of the latter being transmitted to an intermediate shaftD, from which the rod means of the shaft E and two pairs of bevel- D also carries4 a toothed wheel J meshing pinions F G and II I, respectively. The shaft with a toothed wheel K, mounted on a shaft K ,p to which is keyed the cam K2, adapted to operate the lever L, `which operates the pickers. The second connecting-rod B is driven direct from the shaft C by means of lthe crank B2.

`For preventing flo ating of the fabric to the front of the loom it is preferable to arrange below the fabric a Yplate for su orting same.

In the second construction Fslliown in Figs.

Y' i' 3 and 4) the driving of one of the connectingdriven by two bevel-pinions N and O,

is driven by,

rods B is effected directly from the drivingshaft C and the other connecting-rod B is driven by means of an intermediate shaft M,

the latter of which is keyed on the driving-shaft C and the former on said shaft M. The shaft M transmits its movement by means of two other bevel-pinions I and Q to a shaft It. Pinion Q carries a crank-pin Q with the connecting-rod B. The rod B is driven by a crank-pin B2, attached to the pinion O.

The rods B B being of equal effective length, the batten A is displaced in a direction parallel to that ofthe warp. This displacement takes place along the guides S,'Fig.

4, arranged on each side of the loom, and the .hatten is preferably mounted on guide-blocks T, engaging said guides.

For reducing obstruction the warp and cloth beams are preferably arranged below the loom, as in the manner shown in Fig. 5. It is sufficient to simply arrange an intermein connection diate roller U parallel to the batten and servl ing as a guide for the threads. It is immaterial whether the quadrangle shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3 be in a horizontal plane or in one more or less inclined.

It will be understood that the improvements in inclined looms, as can be` used with any kind of warping or winding devices or with any form of batten according to the nature of the fabrics to be woven and of the threads or yarns forming said fabrics. The loom is also adapted to the weaving of metal fabrics and the like.

What wetclaim as our invention, and de sire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

1 In a loom for weaving fabrics of inclined texture the combination of a batten inclined to the direction of the warp and means for reci rocating said batten in a direction paralle to that of-the warp-threads comprising a driving-shaft, rods of equal length connected to the hatten and means wherebyone of said rods is driven directly and the other described above, i
